Here are some screenshots of the ‘conversation’ This story is a good example of the difference between social networks and communities of practice. In a community of practice, membership is usually controlled and activities are monitored by people who want the community to be a place of learning. Last month I started a coffee club so that subscribers to this blog could purchase the equivalent of a cup of coffee for me each month.

Instead, what works best is expert models that have been abstracted across dialog and practice. I mentioned in yesterday’s post that one thing I do in getting objectives is focus on decisions. And, simple ones will get automated; we can train AI to handle these. What will make the difference between ordinary and extraordinary organizations is the ability to make decisions in this new VUCA environment (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous).

There is an online discussion on January 24 2018 at 1-2pm US Central time (which is 7-8pm UK time): Embedding Scholarly Communication in Your Instruction Practice: A Coordinated Approach. This is the 2018 Instruction Section Midwinter Virtual Discussion Forum. It is led by Rebecca Lloyd (Reference & Instruction Librarian), Kristina De Voe (English & Communication Librarian), and Annie Johnson (Library Publishing and Scholarly Communications Specialist) from Temple University.

We can develop a shared vision in our communities of practice. Finding communities of practice, where we can safely test alternative ways of thinking and doing, then becomes a priority. Professionals without communities to help them continuously refine their practice are at a real loss in this network era. While the concept of diversity is simple to understand, the practices to weave a diverse knowledge network can be difficult to make into habits.

I read his first book in 2005, Solving Tough Problems , and his latest is similar in that it is short, to the point, and provides practical advice. Collaborating with the Enemy by Adam Kahane gives a framework of how to work with people you don’t agree with, like, or trust. Kahane developed it through his years of conducting collaboration workshops such as the Mont Fleur sessions to prepare for a post-apartheid South Africa.

The second insight was that the raw building blocks for digital transformation that existed were simply too primitive, not situated for business use, too little informed by the vital patterns and practices now known to be necessary, and not designed to rapidly incorporate new technology and additional lessons learned as they emerged. In Digital Transformation, The Art-of-the-Possible and Average Practice Are Diverging.

Best practices and good practices can align easily with a curriculum. But in complex environments, emergent practices need to be developed while simultaneously engaging the problem. How are you helping people get better at creating new practices, and not just replicate old ones? Automation. Automation, the replacement of human work with human-made technology, has been happening ever since we invented tools.

In Complex problems our practices are always evolving based on what we learn. Every second Friday I review what I’ve noted on social media and post a wrap-up of what caught my eye. I do this as a reflective thinking process and to put what I’ve learned on a platform I control: this blog. Here are what I consider the best of Friday’s Finds for 2017. Quotes. Democracy has to be born anew every generation, and education is its midwife.” John Dewey (1916). “No

Practice: making practice meaningful. Ok, so I told you the story of the video course I was creating on what I call the Quinnov 8, and now I’ll point to it. It’s available through Udemy, and I’ve tried to keep the price low. With their usual discounts, it should be darn near free ;). Certainly no more than a few cups of coffee. It’s about an hour of video of me talking, with a few diagrams and text placeholders.

This is evidence that our problems aren’t just in practice, they’re pernicious; they’re present in the mindset of even the supposed experts. I’m using a standard for organizational learning quality in the process of another task. Why or for whom doesn’t matter. What does matter is that there are two problems in their standard that indicate we still haven’t overcome some pernicious problems. And we need to!

All of these require practice in a contextual social setting to gain mastery, which our schools do not offer either. If we want to help people deal with complex problems then they need to learn and practice in these. Here are some thoughts about learning that I developed on this blog the past year. We lack good models for organizing in a networked society.

You need very specific practice and/or useful feedback to develop it. If you want to develop expertise as an individual, you need to understand how to practice. Deliberate practice, as Ericsson details , is the key. You need to practice at the limits of your ability, and consciously learn from the outcomes.

And you can’t really get it unless you start practicing it yourself. Sparked by a colleague, I’m reading The Digital Transformation Playbook , by David Rogers. In the chapter on innovation , he talks about two types of experimentation: convergent and divergent. And I was reminded that I think of two types of innovations as well. So what are they? Experimentation.

Communities of Practice. They also have to find and engage with professional communities of practice in order to continuously change their practice to deal with a fluid external environment. In the long run, the more we contribute to our social networks and communities of practice, the more resilient we will make them and in return will weave a stronger social safety net for ourselves. Blogging is one way I make sense of the world.

In our practice we have seen many applications of the learning paradigm in 70:20:10, which is not the intention. Therefore it is not just what happens in our work teams, or even our professional communities of practice, but all of our experiences, hardships, and social connections that makes us who we are.
